Abstract
The microbial leakage test indicated good sealing abilities for Resilon and Guttaflow, with the latter resisting microbial leakage for a longer period. AH plus with gutta-percha showed poor sealing ability. Results of the scanning electron microscopy correlated with the microbial leakage test. This study indicates that newer obturation systems like Guttaflow and Resilon cones with Epiphany provide better seal against microbial leakage than the standard obturation material, gutta-percha used with AH plus sealer.
